4 AMAZING HACKS IN CLEANING THE BATHROOM
Let’s talk about the bathroom
The term “bathroom” is commonly referred to as a toilet, “washroom,” or “shower room.” But interestingly, the bathroom houses the aforementioned chambers. As a result, the bathroom is a suitable or convenient space in a home for bathing and showering.
A standard bathroom is made up of 4(four) distinctive parts: the toilet, a shower, a sink and a bathtub. These 4(four) items have different functions; that the bathroom cannot be complete without them.
There are nine (9) different types of bathroom layouts. The only difference is in the bathroom’s size, how the objects are put and arranged, and where the bathroom is located in the home. Some bathrooms are part of a bedroom and are referred to as “master bathrooms,” while others are outdoors. Some restrooms have all of the elements in place, while others do not… Some restrooms are separated into sections, while others are one large space.
This is the list:
- Full Bathroom
- Three-Quarter Bathroom
- Half Bathroom
- Quarter Bathroom
- Master Bathroom
- Jack-and-Jill Bathroom
- Split/Split Entry Bathroom
- Corner Shower Bathroom
Keeping the bathroom clean is very necessary because the bathroom is a private room and it should be cleaned regularly. This is because the bathroom is a place where people go for personal hygiene activities. These activities, such as taking a shower or brushing your teeth, cannot or will never be done in public; they’d require a private place.
Amazing Hacks in Cleaning the Bathroom
A good cleaning hack can make housekeeping so easy. So, to help lighten your housework load, let’s look at the compiled list of the very best cleaning hacks we have just for you. We couldn’t keep it to four(4) hacks as the title suggests; instead, we wanted to offer you a broad picture of what is required of you when it comes to keeping a clean bathroom.
- Use shaving cream to remove makeup spots. When it comes to removing stubborn makeup stains, a little shaving cream goes a long way. Shaving cream dissolves through the oil, and can wipe a makeup stain straight out of any clothing. Apply a drop or two of shaving cream to the stain and wait 5 minutes and clean up with a clean towel. Then after rinsing the area with cool water, your items will be makeup-free. Try this and see how the faucet shines.
- The faucet, commonly known as the shower tap, is one of the most underappreciated bathroom items. To clean the shower faucet, soak it in a vinegar solution in a zipped plastic bag overnight to allow the grime to naturally break down and be removed. Unzip the bag the next morning, pour out the vinegar, and rinse the faucet with clean water. Repeat this once or twice in a month.
- One of the common exercises towards proper maintenance and cleaning of the bathroom is to always flush the toilet after use. This is very important as it helps to keep the bathroom clean and smelling nice. This should be a habit.
- Another important exercise to make a habit is to make sure your sinks and bathtubs don’t retain water after use. Always make sure the water is drained. The residue of water participles can build microorganisms after some time. And make sure your bathroom floor has a proper draining system that helps with the proper outflow of water.
- Scrub your sink, bathtub daily with brush to avoid fungus. And take out the waste every so often.
